Introduction: Cardboard Side Table

By Blog

Hi All,

When you buy any home appliance, it come with, high quality corrugated box, to protect it's contents and Often we throw them away. To recycle / reuse and came up with design and utility.

We are making a Table. Please share your comments if you like it


Step 1: What Do We Need ?

Material

  • Large Corrugated box
  • Knife
  • Sketch pen
  • Steel scale
  • Hot glue gun
  • Papar tape

Step 2: Design and Cutting

• Corrugated box was 8 mm thick
• Hand draw the based on the template ( image)
• Black line : fold
• White lines : cut


Note : I did not have perfect square box, So took 3" from all sides

Step 3: Assembly



• To add strength ; We will overlap and make triangular joints as shown
• Hot glue the joint and secure using paper tape
• Strengthen top of the table by inserting a new peace
• Using PVA glue or fevicol stick it


I have noticed hot glue is not strong, simple PVA glue is much stronger

Step 4: Tips

  • Keep protection below the corrugated box to protect floor
  • The knife used to cut goes blunt
  • Use PVA glue / fevicol, it is much stronger than hot glue
  • Do not use water paint, I left mine with it's natural color
